Will,

I appreciate you posting this article but am not clear if this is the
source of my problem. My motherboard and processor have been changed
since my initial installation of Windows XP, but I was never prompted
to re-activate Windows. I attempted to do a manual activation through
Windows, but it indicated that my software already activated.

I have done a number of things to my system to improve its
performance. I've run Norton Antivirus 2004 and also AdAware and
SpyBot to get rid of all the spyware. I've also run Disk Cleanup,
Disk Defragmenter, and ChkDsk all in an effort to determine the
problem. None of these have been successful in preventing the
computer from hanging at wlnotify.dll on startup.

However, Windows did boot up in Safe Mode with no problems. However,
when I tried to boot up in Safe Mode with Networking, I got hung on
wlnotify.dll once again. I'm thinking it has to do with networking
drivers, but how do I diagnose this? I have a DSL connection and my
computer is connected to a Microsoft MN-100 wired router. I have
manually entered the IP address and gateway to see if it would help
but to no avail.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Bryan
